Grease is the original high-school musical.

With the Pink Ladies, the T-Birds, and an iconic score including Summer Nights, Greased Lightnin', and You're the One That I Want, Grease is a celebration of first love, teenage rebellion, and rock and roll that has been making audiences dance in the aisles since 1971.
